Thomas Bayes
Thomas Bayes (/ˈbeɪz/; 1701–1761) was an English statistician, philosopher and Presbyterian minister who is known for formulating a specific case of the theorem that bears his name: the Bayesian theorem.
Etymology
The term "Bayesian" comes from Thomas Bayes, who introduced the concept of conditional probability. Bayes's work was significantly developed by Pierre-Simon Laplace, who first published the modern formulation in his 1812 "Théorie analytique des probabilités".
